[lusty blade]

Only 15 weeks

[misty current]

[lusty blade]

Yeah i do

[frank coral]

that gap semester will make me become lazy

[patent bridge]

I don’t understand why colleges admit ppl spring semester

[frank coral]

can UCLA's website be any worse than it is 😭

[sturdy coral]

i hope i get moved up

[patent bridge]

I got in BU spring semester and I feel like I might as well have been rejected

[sturdy coral]

to fall

[frank coral]

i can't even check for AP credit without navigting a maze

[golden bramble]

Lowkey USC needs to hurry up and send me my rejection letter, I literally sent them my transcripts like yesterday they need to hurry up else they would have already accepted me

[dense junco]

i believe in you.

[golden bramble]

Already tried getting in 6 times im done with USC after this I’m gonna try calarts next

[dense junco]

were you deferred?

by any chance

[golden bramble]

De what

[dense junco]

like not getting in early action

[golden bramble]

Idk I just didn’t send them my transcripts until I saw them email I thought I did

[dense junco]

Oh ok

[golden bramble]

But I assume I’m gonna get rejected he applied like 6 times already

[deft root]

I GOT IN

[dense junco]

ya never know 🙏

[dense junco]

congrats

[deft root]

Thank you!!!

[sturdy coral]

what's more likely, to get moved from spring to fall or to get off the waitlist?

[golden bramble]

Why would they want me my animation portfolio was terrible it was all fan art, dawg im cooked

[dense junco]

ohh you're roski

you applied for*

[golden bramble]

Idk it was usc

Cooked either way 😭

[misty current]

[dense junco]

probably move up from spring to fall

[misty current]

ryan u got moved right

what was the #s in your year

like who got moved and who didn't

[sturdy coral]

^^

[dense junco]

yeah, i heard 1400 were spring at first (not including appeal)

a few hundred were moved because lots of appeal people got into spring

[lusty pivot]

Does usc send packages to intls (even without commitment)?

[lapis dust]

why would u wanna be moved tho? its cheaper to go in spring

[little folio]

OH MY GOD I GOT IN

[lapis dust]

by like 45k

[little folio]

OHWMGUGNG

[sturdy coral]

when did they tell u?

[dense junco]

for the experience (not the most important imo)

[lusty blade]

When does financial aid come out?

[dense junco]

late may

[sturdy coral]

did u commit to a different school by then?

[misty current]

it is weird to not start college on the normal fall-spring rotation

[dense junco]

nah, i was open to spring

admit

was just gonna do cc

[misty current]

but yeah i was super open to it

and did it in the end

worth

[dense junco]

yeah my friends adjusted really well

spring admits

[golden bramble]

If I miraculously get in I didn’t do my fasfa so I don’t think I’d even be able to go cause I forgot

[sturdy coral]

so like what is the punishment for uncomitting

to a different school

[golden bramble]

Idk

[dense junco]

think if you explain that reason, it's ok

[sturdy coral]

ok ty for the info

[dense junco]

[tardy coral]

if you have any questions about joining the greatest marching band in the history of the universe (also known as the usc trojan marching band/the spirit of troy) let me know!! we take people of all experience levels, and the only section that requires an audition is the drumline. we have a ton of incredible opportunities for travel including our full-band trip to chicago for the notre dame game in october and other paid gig opportunities (like the band performing as the department of choreography and merriment for the severance panel at paleyfest last week)

also if you’re a music major you get a scholarship for being in band : 3

sorry too many questions lol

[little folio]

wait did usc merit scholarships come out together or do they show up later? though my chances are pretty low lol

[strong monolith]

keck's undergrad program is incredibly selective so honestly i wouldnt be surprised

[tulip ice]

Super ez

[frank coral]

i thought the merit scholarships were only for ea admits

[tulip ice]

U can do it rn

[dense junco]

[modest summit]

so this thread

[dense junco]

yeah

[modest summit]

im thinking about it ngl

this has alot of the pros notre dame has, good alumni netowkr, school spirit, i like the nd campus a bit more, but i like the weather and location of usc more

[frank coral]

i'd take it over nd any time 😭 haven't heard too many great things about nd from past admits in my school

[modest summit]

im definitely not going vandy, i dont rly like it as much as the other 2

[frank coral]

USC has all of those tho minus the campus

[misty current]

la has a million more things to do than south bend as well

[frank coral]

USC's campus isn't hogwarts like but i still like it

[modest summit]

yeah exactlyy, the location is so much better

[misty current]

and u can do anything here

except winter sports or something

but almost anything

[modest summit]

im gonna be honest i had NO expectation of getting in usc

like, i thought i wasnt a good fit, my gpa was kinda mid

especially keck of all places lol, im still so shocked

[modest summit]

yeah im super excited

[tulip ice]

Wait ur doing usc over vandy?

[frank coral]

[little folio]

[misty current]

WTF WBB

yoooo

dude thats a mega program

[dense junco]

one of my main friends is WBB

[strong monolith]

this is just not true lmfao

[modest summit]

holy

[misty current]

didnt u have an argument with that other guy abt this

[glacial flare]

I didn't get rejected but a pattern is a pattern and I'm not saying this really correlates

[modest summit]

you got yield protected lil br..

[misty current]

that got banned

[glacial flare]

Iits a superstition above all else

[strong monolith]

its not a pattern though

[novel echo]

generational buzzer beater acceptance

[novel echo]

https://tenor.com/view/buzzer-beater-kobe-bryant-kobe-basketball-three-point-shoot-gif-16356841

[modest summit]

god damn what else do they want, ur so stacked

im sure ull get in somewhere nice

[glacial flare]

that's an opinion

[iron bramble]

I’ve heard this too but idk if it’s just cope

[strong monolith]

it was just about scholarships in general and them being very uninformed (literally called people with dean's scholarships mccarthy rejects)

[modest summit]

honestly, the adimssions are alot more holistic than i expcetde

[dense junco]

send an appeal to usc

[misty current]

ya i +1 this

[modest summit]

t/o 3.6, intl residing us citizen rly strong ecs, and lors i somehow got in a couple of t20s

[strong monolith]

there is not a pattern of nmsfs getting rejected lmao theyre literally the most popular scholarship at usc

[frank coral]

fr i'd expected that my lack of extracurriculars would be a massive detriment to my application

[flat shale]

Unfortunately

[modest summit]

me but w stats

[misty current]

me but w essays

[flat shale]

Me but w nothing except I didn't get in anywhere good beside usc

[misty current]

well in that my usc essays were so much better than like

[misty current]

every other one that i wrote

[glacial flare]

A pattern can be justified by your own perception I'm not arguing about this lmfao

[frank coral]

my stats were "amazing" but my awards, activities, and essays were lacking

[flat shale]

Not me in the bottom 90

[misty current]

ik someone like that

goes to local csu now

[flat shale]

I got the bum scholarship

[misty current]

unfortunately

[strong monolith]

i mean they didnt have that scholarship last year

[flat shale]

Well this is embarrassing

[frank coral]

but i had a massive excuse i had like epilepsy and heart surgery in the middle of my high school career

[strong monolith]

the "other merit scholarships" are smaller departmental scholarships (like i have) or the veterans scholarship

[misty current]

o shit ok

nvm

my friend just didn't do anything except set every curve and got rejected everywhere

[frank coral]

and like i managed to keep my grades up regardless of how many times i've skipped school due to meds and shi

[misty current]

presumably for no ecs and nothing to write about

[glacial flare]

does nmsf matter when you have an sat of 1550 or whatever

[strong monolith]

i had a 1550 sat and a 1300 psat lmao youll be fine

[iron bramble]

Bro how r we actually twins

[frank coral]

i tried my best for ecs 😭 like volunteer and work a j*b

[frank coral]

i hate the SAT and PSAT with a burning passion

[iron bramble]

Yeah cause it can give you a scholly

[little folio]

oh god this is so scary

i think my portfolio carried my application yay

[digital bear]

Man i shouldve tried harder on sat i wouldve gotten more scholarships

[glacial flare]

well I ask because I don't even want the scholarship and if 1550 makes nmsf kinda pointless to put down then I want to fill in another blank

[frank coral]

like why is math weighed lower than reading/writing for NMSQT

[modest summit]

oh damn shrimp u got in too?

[digital bear]

I submitted a 1460 and 34 to usc and i think thats prob why i got nothing

[digital bear]

EA

[misty current]

dawg at least u got a 34 i had 1490 and nothing

[modest summit]

yayyy

[digital bear]

This a while ago

[modest summit]

congrats

[strong monolith]

if it makes you feel better a significant number of scholarships go to students in portfolio-based schools because the programs are much smaller and require a higher yield

[misty current]

i got need aid tho

[digital bear]

Me too

[strong monolith]

there are 7 people in my major and 3 have full-tuition scholarships

[digital bear]

I need more tho

[little folio]

HAHA ok wait this does make me feel better thank you :)

wow

[digital bear]

75k grant aint enough

[glacial flare]

does usc have a portfolio portal for non-arts students

[modest summit]

chat is my offer still conditional if im already graduated

[misty current]

i remember u saying 8 a while back what happened

[modest summit]

on a gap year

[strong monolith]

no

[modest summit]

like

[digital bear]

Pell grant and cal grant only 15k, i need 10k more in funds

[modest summit]

wtf do they expect me to submit now

[digital bear]

I cant afford to have any debt

[warped oyster]

@little folio MY GOAT CONGRATSSS (please help me get in )

[little folio]

i think the 3 main tuition scholarships have already been given out (or, at least i didn't get an interview for them) so ... praying for the little remaining merit scholarships but it's ok, i might take on a singapore scholarship instead

[strong monolith]

we started with 8 and one person dropped out during the first week

[little folio]

THANK YOU ISMAYY ngl u have no problem at all

[plain nymph]

Ismay you'll get in

[warped oyster]

i trust the process but how does one format the portfolio

[strong monolith]

but it tends to level out to four people by senior year

[warped oyster]

that is the question💔

[digital bear]

Dropped out in one week????

[little folio]

oh i can send you mine for ref if you want lol

[warped oyster]

usc’s portfolio reqs are so open edned

[digital bear]

What was bro doing

[warped oyster]

HES PLEASE

YES*

[plain nymph]

No clue sorry but I'm sure you'll find out

[little folio]

i just made a video stitching together everything 😭

[daring shale]

today i was rejected but my best friend with a 3.17 got in and this was the one fucking school i was looking forward to during the regular round

[strong monolith]

people in portfolio majors dont have scholarship interviews, its based on your departmental interview (if you had one) and/or your portfolio

[warped oyster]

soliciting portfolios nyaahhhh

[little folio]

but yeah u can def go a wide range with different levels of editing effort

[little folio]

oh wait really ok that is awesome also

[digital bear]

3.17 gpa acceptance is phenomenal

[dense junco]

try appeal

[little folio]

i did have a departmental interview with a professor so i'm hopeful again 😊

[warped oyster]

this gives me hope on god please i need this so bad

[dense junco]

real

[warped oyster]

im having a portfolio review with the director of themed entertainment so maybe if hes impressed he’ll consider me in advance…

😍

please…..

[little folio]

this is so awesome bro

[glacial flare]

Is usc actually holistic or is it a front

It's my top pick as a school but I was debilitated underclassmen years so my grades dropped

[strong monolith]

a ton of my friends are themed entertainment minors

[strong monolith]

wdym a front

[warped oyster]

i ask myself this too

[plain nymph]

You'll get in for sure, what major again?

[warped oyster]

do you know jack

jack m

[dense junco]

do you know any theme majors?

i do

[little folio]

i just submitted a video with like gameplay of games i made for game jams lol and then a short description about year/engine/constraints etc

[daring shale]

we wrote our responses together in starbucks
i applied to marshall while she did something for art but its just such a fucking pain in my ass to see it because she most likely wont go bc she already got into calarts

[strong monolith]

i dont but several of my friends do

[glacial flare]

We are holistic until it comes to gpa

[dense junco]

nice

[dense junco]

try appeal

[strong monolith]

i almost flunked out of hs junior year and im here so

[glacial flare]

hell yeah alr

[warped oyster]

i talked to this guy named sean from the ent design program on zoom once

[daring shale]

i dont think its gonna work out, i have a 3.8 and the letter said average 3.9

[warped oyster]

chill ahh

[daring shale]

but ill try

[little folio]

wowowow

[warped oyster]

im making connections vro im so dedicated to getting in

😭💔

[little folio]

HELL YEAH

🔥🔥🔥

[warped oyster]

im in love with this program and will raise hell (pull all nighters) to get in

[little folio]

i connected w an imgd mfa on bluesky during my application season LOL and i asked for advice and he linked me up w one of his professors but she never replied to my email 💔

[glacial flare]

Usc has everything I'd want in a school, I'd turn down Stanford for it

[little folio]

you absolutely got this bro

[dense junco]

👍 gpa won't be the main factor for appeal

[modest summit]

ur gonna get in ismay trsutt

[warped oyster]

thank you to sean y and jack m for being my de facto mentors this season (on rhe off chance theyre in this chat)

[wide vector]

anyone know the final stats of this year’s application round?

[warped oyster]

im scared my gpa and no test scores will still disqualify meeee

[modest summit]

i got in test optional 3.6

[fossil lily]

3.9 mean gpa

[warped oyster]

this is so scary

[modest summit]

anything can happen

[warped oyster]

arent you intl too😭

[little folio]

i read 8.5% rd acceptance

[modest summit]

intl residing with a us citizenship

[wide vector]

wait sorry I meant like how many applied, accepted

[warped oyster]

blessed admissions

[little folio]

https://dailytrojan.com/2025/03/26/usc-admits-roughly-8-5-of-regular-decision-applicants/ oh here

[wide vector]

thank you!!

[dense junco]

not including the big amount of spring admits

[warped oyster]

oooh gotcha, i have hope

[dense junco]

so a lil' higher!

[modest summit]

holy crap

[warped oyster]

im scared honestly

[plain nymph]

Interesting

[little folio]

true!!!!

[fossil lily]

13% spring admit acceptance rate basically. I'm one of them.

[warped oyster]

critickz did you get a scholarship

[dense junco]

yeah that's accurate

[warped oyster]

(same q @ bucketfish)

[misty current]

wow 2k spring admits

thats a lot

[modest summit]

nope.... im hoping for good aid though

[strong monolith]

this was class of 28

[little folio]

no(t yet...)

[misty current]

my year there were barely more htan 1k

i think

[wide vector]

spring admits is crazy

[strong monolith]

i feel like it has to do with the increase of people graduating a semester early

why

[wide vector]

all I need is to figure out financial aid for usc 💔💔

[fossil lily]

In terms of classes, people who do not have ap credit would have hard time graduating on time i feel like.

[warped oyster]

gl !!!

[strong monolith]

they go to community college or study abroad during the fall

thats the point of spring admits lol

[misty current]

no you take classes during fall

so you're on time

[warped oyster]

real… my parents said they wont pay if the tuition is above 60k….

😭

[fossil lily]

I'm enrolling in my state school, UIUC. I'm definitely not going to community college.

[tribal crag]

man usc pls come through with a scholarship

[little folio]

this is real 😰

[tribal crag]

cause i can't go if u don't gimme 😭😭

[wide vector]

privates are hitting hard dude

[warped oyster]

i feel like usc has the most holistic apps lowk

[warped oyster]

FONT SCARE ME

💔💔💔

[strong monolith]

what does that have to do with the conversation

you said spring admits would have trouble graduating on time

[glacial flare]

I'm doing california air National guard if I get in to USC

Free tuition and it kinda helps with admission qualities

[strong monolith]

i said they go to community college or study abroad during the fall semester

[fossil lily]

But you said they have 2 options, that's a false claim. They can go to state school during fall

[strong monolith]

i didnt say they had two options

i mentioned the most common routes

[fossil lily]

Sorry, I might've misinterpreted

[strong monolith]

and state school tends to be significantly more expensive + california has free community college for residents

[modest summit]

oh wtf u have to?

[misty current]

you should

otherwise you fall behind

1 semester

[strong monolith]

you dont have to but most people do yes

[warped oyster]

cali state schools are underfunded or extremely hard to get into😭

[modest summit]

im intl, idk what to do

[warped oyster]

or both…

[misty current]

i did cc myself but plenty of people have done the other stuff

study abroad state school

[warped oyster]

did you do cc in the la area?

[misty current]

nop

[warped oyster]

ive heard santa monica cc is great for usc transfers

[misty current]

im from the bay

[warped oyster]

oh gotcha gotcha

[misty current]

ye smc is great but it doesn't matter where you do cc bc you already got in

for spring admits

[strong monolith]

i mean you dont have to, you can still start in the spring and graduate on time if you take course overloads or have a ton of transfer credits

[plain nymph]

SMC is very good for top school transfers

[strong monolith]

or just graduate a semester late

[warped oyster]

smc campus kinda sexy fr

[plain nymph]

SMC, De Anza, Mt. Sac, and a couple others are top ccs

[warped oyster]

oh usc please just let me in and cover half of my tuition,,,,

[plain nymph]

Ave would know more

[warped oyster]

i will pay up to 60k just spoil me with the rest 😛😛😛😛

[plain nymph]

Is your fin aid situation still looking bad

[warped oyster]

yeah because nothing ever happens

:(

still full pay everywhere mostly

my mom really wants me to go to ucla (impossible to get in tbh) or lcad (easier but its too small of a school and therefore kinda boring)

[strong monolith]

do you ever get tired of being annoying

[warped oyster]

usc…

[strong monolith]

cope!

[warped oyster]

i wsih finaid wasnt so bootycheeks here

[humble wasp]

[warped oyster]

it is bootycheeeksssss

i understand why i wont be getting finaid but also it sucks

[lapis dust]

llol they need money to pay off their law suits

[warped oyster]

😭 mfs gotta stop suing

[humble wasp]

"X, this decision was especially difficult for us given your ties to the USC community. If you decide that you still wish to explore a path to USC, consider applying for admission as a transfer student."

[strong monolith]

thats at the bottom of every letter

[humble wasp]

for the record my two brothers went and my mom works there xd

ok

[plain nymph]

When pigs fly they will

[strong monolith]

ngl the school needs to stop doing stupid shit

[warped oyster]

this would hurt me so bad

[daring shale]

omg

[warped oyster]

this is like being huzz’ third choice

what the freakkk

[humble wasp]

nah i bummed in hs so im not hurt

[misty current]

[strong monolith]

sony music group warned them for four years to stop using their music without permission and they didnt and then they got sued

[warped oyster]
